    Sorry to hear that things aren't great for you atm hun. You don't sound like you're feeling sorry for yourself just telling it how it is. If you can't get things off your chest on your diary then where can you!!
    Hopefully the relationship side of things is because of work and debt stuff getting you down & nothing more serious?


    I really hope you can make your pennies stretch until the 24th, try and enjoy France too.

    I'm feeling better now thanks for asking :) although I'm nights atm and the systems have decided to crash (yay!!)

    Here's a pic to make you smile

    Finding it really hard at the mo and the relationship situ is getting worse. I love my OH to bits but the spark has gone and that horrid realisation has just hit us.

    I finally cracked at work when we had our yearly reviews (I didnt get a bonus or a pay rise because there's no spare money, but the dept have just spent thousands on new computers we didnt need etc):mad:

    My boss asked me how things were and it all just came out, I was so wound up emotionally that I couldnt help myself. I told him how sad I was and how Im tired of crying over a job and the way I get spoken to. He didnt know what to say so he just left the meeting room and I honestly thought I was going to get fired.

    But, amazingly the next day he sat me down and apolgised and promised to support me if I needed anything. I was really shocked but I think he finally gets that his behaviour has a reall effect on my life.

    Debts... Hmm. At least I'm on top of them and next year they will be all gone. :j

    I have the weekend to myself this week (Im not going to France anymore as I just cant afford it) so hopefully I'll be able to get my head together. :o

    Hi all,

    I've had a 3 week hiatus from my diary so I thought it was about time I start writing again.

    Honestly, I've been really down lately so haven't really wanted to do anything but keep my head down and get on with the day to day stuff. My relationship with the OH is really struggling - its one of those awful situations where no one has done anything wrong but its just not really working. I spend most days questioning what I want.
    It doesn't help that Im not happy with work, Im really going through that "what am I doing with my life" phase. What I really want to do is go back to university but with my debt it feels like that is an impossible dream.

    Sorry for the miserable rant, I just needed to get it out of my system. I think I just feel a little lost really. :(

    On a happier note, I am really enjoying the Olympics, go Team GB! Very proud of our little country :j

    Sorry to hear things haven't improved with OH either :( Can you get away anywhere at all for a bit so you've got a bit of space and time to think x
